"Where is Xiao Meimei?"
Ling Yun finally asked this question again.
As for why he asked again, it was because Ling Yun had already asked Ye Xingchen this question twice.
He'd met Ye Xingchen twice and asked the same question twice. Each time, the Holy Maiden of the Devil Sect had fled, which infuriated Ling Yun greatly.
This was the third time. As the saying went, nothing should be done more than three times. Ling Yun chose to cut to the chase and ask the question directly. He believed that Ye Xingchen would give him a satisfactory answer.
Ye Xingchen had to give him one too!
Ye Xingchen had come out of nowhere and hadn't left after helping Ling Yun eliminate the enemy. It was obvious that he wanted to sit down and have a serious talk with Ling Yun.
Since they were going to talk, both sides had to show some sincerity. Xiao Meimei's whereabouts was undoubtedly the key to Ling Yun's test of Ye Xingchen's sincerity.
If Ye Xingchen still didn't answer, then there was no point in continuing the conversation. Ling Yun decided to turn hostile on the spot. He kicked over the stone table, ready to fight!
As soon as this question was thrown out, the stone table seemed to be filled with the glint of swords. The atmosphere became fierce and somber. Both sides were silent, and only the rumbling of the nearby stream could be heard.
Fortunately, the luminous pearls on the stone table emitted a faint radiance, hazy and smooth, which somewhat melted the discordant atmosphere.
Ling Yun's handsome eyes were like lightning as he looked straight into Ye Xingchen's eyes, waiting for the latter's answer.
Ye Xingchen's gaze didn't flinch. He returned Ling Yun's stare with a hint of irritation and mockery.
The two of them stared at each other for what seemed like an instant, but it also seemed like a long time. Finally, Ye Xingchen's gaze drifted away, seemingly leaving Ling Yun's eyes to look behind him, at the white waterfall that rumbled incessantly.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Xingchen suddenly said faintly, "I didn't expect you to be so concerned about her."
To Ling Yun, this was simply nonsense. He chose to ignore it.
Ye Xingchen frowned slightly. "Xiao Meimei is a member of the Assassins Organization. As for where she is and what she's doing, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Ling Yun sneered. "Xiao Meimei once told me herself that she left the Assassins Organization and will no longer work for them."
Ye Xingchen laughed disdainfully. "What she says doesn't count."
"Moreover, she's just a lowly female assassin at the bottom of the Assassins Organization. Do you have to be so serious?"
Ling Yun was so angry that he almost slammed the table. His face darkened and he said word by word, "Xiao Meimei is my woman."
Ling Yun's words were true.
Ever since the night of the Qingming Festival, when Zhuang Meifeng was kidnapped by the experts from the Sun Family, Xiao Meimei had fought to the death with Ling Yun. Ling Yun had accepted Xiao Meimei from the bottom of his heart.
Before Ling Yun went to the crater, he had asked Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei to go to his Qingshui Wharf villa. He said that he wanted them to help Qin Qiuyue decorate the villa, but in reality, he wanted his mother to protect them.
At that time, Ling Yun even said something like "handsome daughter-in-law wants to see her mother-in-law". If Xiao Meimei wasn't his woman, then what was she?
Originally, Ling Yun had planned to have Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei accompany him when he returned from the crater. Who knew that one of them would be taken away from the Tranquil Sect, and the other would go missing? Both of them had disappeared from Ling Yun's world.
On top of that, Cao Shanshan, who would never return, was also involved.
Cao Shanshan had already been rescued by him. Zhuang Meifeng might not be able to see her, but she was the last disciple of the Tranquil Sect. She should be safe. Thus, Ling Yun's most pressing concern was naturally Xiao Meimei.
How could Ling Yun not ask about the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect, who had been insisting on knowing Xiao Meimei's whereabouts, was right in front of him?
His woman was his woman. Ling Yun couldn't wait to protect her. How could he allow Ye Xingchen to make irresponsible remarks here?
This was Ling Yun's bottom line. He wouldn't give in even if the other party was the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect!
"Bam!"
Ye Xingchen's elegant palm slammed on the stone table, causing it to shake violently. The Night-Luminescent Pearls, tea set, teapot, and teacups were all sent flying.
However, the strange thing was that these things flew about a foot off the table and returned to their original positions without a sound. The Night-Luminescent Pearls were unharmed, and not a single drop of water spilled from the teapot.
"You!"
Ye Xingchen was furious. Her beautiful eyes glared at Ling Yun. Her perky breasts rose and fell visibly. It was obvious that she was infuriated by Ling Yun.
"What did I do?"
Ling Yun was secretly pleased. He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and asked casually.
"Hmph!"
Ye Xingchen snorted coldly. She picked up the cup of fragrant tea in front of her and drank it in one gulp.
Ling Yun suddenly chuckled and leisurely picked up the teapot to refill Ye Xingchen's cup. He smirked. "You're not jealous, are you?"
"Bullsh * t!"
Ye Xingchen suddenly rolled her eyes at Ling Yun and said, "Eat your head!"
"Phew …" Ling Yun pretended to breathe a sigh of relief. He said with some annoyance, "I thought you were jealous. It's good that you're not jealous. I feel much better now."
Seeing Ling Yun's naughty look, Ye Xingchen clenched her teeth in hatred. She wanted nothing more than to pour the entire pot of tea on Ling Yun's head.
She was so angry that she laughed and said seductively, "Xiao Meimei failed her mission and betrayed the Assassins Organization. She has already been executed by them according to the rules."
With that, Ye Xingchen smiled and looked at Ling Yun, waiting for him to explode.
It was impolite not to reciprocate. Since Ling Yun had angered Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingchen naturally had to find a way to anger Ling Yun as well.
Contrary to Ye Xingchen's expectations, Ling Yun was actually very calm. He slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and unhurriedly put it back in its original place.
Then, he said softly, "I think that our time is very precious. There's no need to waste it on this pointless argument."
Ling Yun said this and raised his head slightly. His eyes were piercingly cold as he stared straight at Ye Xingchen. "So, if it's fake, you don't have to use it to make fun of me."
Ye Xingchen secretly bit her lower lip and asked, "What if Xiao Meimei really is dead?"
"If it's true, I've said it before. The entire Assassins Organization will be buried with her, including many of your people from the Devil Sect. Moreover, if I stake my dignity as a man, I guarantee that you won't be able to walk out of Immortal Ridge tonight!"
"You!"
Ye Xingchen was once again angered by Ling Yun's attitude and words to the point of speechlessness.
Fortunately, Ye Xingchen didn't slam the table this time. She looked at Ling Yun's expression and suddenly smiled sweetly. "Stake your dignity as a man? You want to keep me here? Do you have the strength to do so? "
Ling Yun smiled faintly. "You can try."
At this point, Ling Yun was actually on the verge of going berserk. If Ye Xingchen continued to feign civility and sincerity, he would rather give up on the other issues and use all his trump cards to capture and kill Ye Xingchen on the spot!
However, he still patiently explained a few more sentences. "First, we're negotiating, right? Since it's a negotiation, then both parties should show sufficient sincerity, and Xiao Meimei's whereabouts is the sincerity you need to show.
"Secondly, on the opening day of my Ordinary People's Clinic, you found 22 terminally ill patients to cause trouble for me. At the same time, you threatened me with Xiao Meimei's life. Since I cured those patients, you should have told me Xiao Meimei's whereabouts or released her."
Ling Yun said these two reasons seriously, which was rare for him. Then, he stared at Ye Xingchen and said, "You owe me this in the first place. My questions and requests aren't overboard, right?"
Because both of them were too domineering, the negotiation had reached an impasse from the beginning. If they didn't break the stalemate soon, they would have to fight. However, Ling Yun didn't want to fight.
Seeing that Ye Xingchen might be his birth mother's disciple, Ling Yun didn't want to anger his birth mother prematurely.
He didn't compromise, and he wouldn't compromise. Instead, he explained carefully and gave Ye Xingchen a way out.
After listening to Ling Yun's explanation, Ye Xingchen's gaze gradually softened. She opened her mouth and said, "Pour the tea!"
Ling Yun knew that the time was right. He laughed heartily and happily poured the tea.
Ye Xingchen tasted the tea leaves that Ling Yun had specially brewed for her. In fact, she really couldn't be that angry at him.
She had paid too much attention to Ling Yun and understood him too much. She could be said to know Ling Yun's usual "style" like the back of her hand.
She took a sip of the fragrant tea, and a bright smile appeared in her beautiful eyes. She pouted coquettishly and said, "Didn't I tell you long ago if you said that earlier? Really! "
It was that bright smile that made Ling Yun feel as if the entire surrounding mountains had become bright, as if all the mountain flowers in the dense forest had bloomed at the same time!
Then, he heard the most crucial and important sentence.
"Xiao Meimei is now at the Devil Sect's main altar. She's learning martial arts from a senior and is about to break through to the Xiantian Realm. You can rest assured now, right?"
"F * ck!"
When Ling Yun heard that, he couldn't help but spit out a vulgar word, expressing his speechless attitude.
The Devil Sect's main altar? Learning martial arts? Following a senior? About to break through to the Xiantian Realm?!
Of course, since that was the case, Xiao Meimei's safety was naturally not a problem. Ling Yun's heart instantly calmed down.
At the same time, Ling Yun's gaze suddenly relaxed.
He ignored Ye Xingchen's rolling eyes and asked with a smile, "You were the one who captured her and sent her to that whatever Devil Sect's main altar?"
Ye Xingchen said proudly, "The Devil Sect's main altar isn't a place that just anyone can go."
That was an admission.
"Why did you bring her back to the Devil Sect's main altar?"
Ye Xingchen said frankly with a smile, "Because when I found her, I actually discovered that her physique was abnormally perfect, and there was an extremely strong aura within her body … Moreover, Xiao Meimei was born with a natural charm …"
This time, it was finally Ling Yun's turn to roll his eyes.
F * ck, I worked so hard to cleanse Xiao Meimei's muscles and marrow, and even injected a strand of Immortal Spiritual Energy into her body, and it was all prepared for you guys?!
Zhuang Meifeng was like that, and he didn't expect Xiao Meimei to be the same.
As Ling Yun thought about this, he suddenly thought of a more important question and asked abruptly, "Which senior is she learning from?"
Since Ye Xingchen mentioned the Devil Sect's main altar, Ling Yun felt that he could take this opportunity to find out more about the Devil Sect. (To be continued.)
